PENROADS
Penroads is a new social travel website that helps you find travel partners before you even get to your destination. On your own, you can share travel stories or participate in country-wide or hostel chat rooms. Together with the friends you meet on Penroads, you can start planning your trips together.
TINDER
Tinder is a backpacker favorite, the infamous “hookup app” is an easy way to meet people within a few miles of yourself whether it be local, backpacker, or normal traveler alike.
HOSTEL
Perhaps the most traditional way of making new travel friends is at the hostel itself. For the introverted, this might be a bit intimidating, but for the most part, the people at your hostel have the same goals as you, are genuine, and looking to be your future partners in crime.
